Together, we set aside $120,000, a fund specifically for Liam’s birth, potential NICU care, or any unforeseen medical emergencies. It wasn’t just money; it was peace of mind.

Luke’s parents, Sandra and Philip, have been incredible, treating me like their own daughter from day one. Sandra was already crocheting a mountain of baby blankets, and Philip insisted on dropping off prenatal vitamins every Sunday without fail. Their home had become my safe place, a sanctuary where I felt supported, protected, and loved.
